In looking thruu ebay's "completed" listings I see what you are talking about. The two things that stand out are that one seller is from the UK. They are truely whitworth bullets, but not from the American Civil War. Obviously, he knows he can do better by selling them as CW bullets instead of the English bullets they are. Similar situation as with all the numbered Enfields that showed up from Canada. Most of the others I saw were 1880s Sharps buffalo rounds. They have a distinct profile, a variety of lengths, and a dished cavity. So your feelings about these is well founded.
